Birchbox Breakdown

Your makeup may normally be more suited for running errands than walking down a runway, but that doesn't mean that you still can’t apply it with artist-like precision. This set includes two black beautyblender® PRO sponges for smooth, even coverage every time. Keep one as a spare, or use both with different shades of foundation for contouring effects.

How it Works

Unlike traditional sponges, the soft texture and elliptical shape of the beautyblender® allows foundation to blend into skin with a natural finish and no streaks. When saturated with water, the sponge will expand to twice its size, making it easy to cover your whole face and still get into all the nooks and crannies. Using the sponge damp prevents it from absorbing excess foundation, so you won’t be wasting any makeup. And the black color of the sponge means it’s stain proof, so not only is perfect for foundation, but it's great for self-tanners and bronzers, as well.

How to Use

Saturate your blender with water and squeeze out excess. Pick up a small amount of foundation with the blender and apply to your skin with a tapping motion to distribute and blend. Use the pointed end of the sponge to get into small areas near your nose and eyes.

Best makeup sponge ever!!

Beauty Blender is by far the best makeup sponge sout there. I use it to apply everything on my face. It makes my foundation and primer go on some smoothly and evenly. My beauty routine would not be complete without my Beauty Blender!

I gave in, and I'm glad I did

I've resisted the makeup sponge for many years now, having used drug store ones in the (far) past. I finally tried this sample that came in one of my first birchboxes about two years ago, and I have to say, I'm not disappointed. I am and will always be a foundation brush girl, but using the Beautyblender I think I use less foundation and have an overall less cakey appearance. I will be purchasing the full size double set.

forget the copycats!

I'd previously used imitation sponges and I figured they couldn't possibly be much different from the real deal. I couldn't have been more wrong. The first thing I noticed was how soft and springy the material was. It absorbed water much more quickly than the other sponges. More importantly, it spread my makeup much more smoothly and evenly. I used my birchbox points to purchase these, but once the time comes to replace them I definitely won't hesitate. My only complaint is that it's a little hard to clean my very light foundation off the black material, so it's going to stain sooner rather than later.

Had such high hopes

I was soo excited to get this that i saved up my birchbox points for it, and i wasn't very impressed. i feel as if i'm the only one who doesn't like the beauty blender, but I've tried it with foundation and concealer but it doesn't do the job. It makes it very patchy and overall i was kind of disappointed with this. I will continue to use this but i don't think its worth the hype.

Obsessed!

I am obsessed with my beautyblender Pro. It's easy to use and clean. I am so glad I got the double pack because I use one for my concealer and one for my foundation and they work perfectly. My makeup looks flawless and not caked on after I used my beautyblender. I couldn't be any happier with this product.

The black makes a difference...

I looked at previous reviews to narrow down the choice between pink and black beauty blenders. When I was putting on my beauty blender today, there was black excess sponge material that stuck to my face. The product smoothed my makeup out like promised, but the aftermath was not as pretty.
